goosebump-insta-requote for epicness

never bothered to read our finnish forums cause most of the members are arrogant, annoying ****wits. have read about you a bit there tho so kno some stuff youve done and achieved. will read here.

and the article on Lodden was a good read wp.

o wow

Chuck bass is a favorite character of mine so that made me read this.

Im glad I did. Your english is brilliant as is your writing. I litteraly pictured everything you went through with the occaisonal laughs. Thank you for sharing your story.

This is really entertaining and extremely well written, glad I was bored enough to stumble into BBV today! Subscribed, hope there's plenty more to come.

That was the stuff I had ready, and I've got vol.6 almost finished which I'll likely post today. This will actually get interesting when I get to 2009, I just wanted to document my early days discovering poker as well. Thanks everyone for reading!

Holy TL;DR Degen batman.

Seriously though, awesome.

MOAR

this is the most iv read in 2011
good stuff man

more!

I was wondering though about the 20k that you had loaned from various websites, at which point did you pay this back and how? Surely the added interest is huge especially spread over the course of a year.

Awesome read OP
More Plz!

Wasn't gona read but saw positive posts so thought why not.....

The way it works (or at least worked in 07) is that you can pay it back interest-free if you do it in two weeks. If you won't they insta add like 100%+. (It's all in the small print I didn't read, and had I read it I wouldn't have cared anyway) And from then on it's again pretty steady, like 10% more per month or something. I think I borrowed like 10k which immediately (2 weeks) turned into ~20k. I don't have the exact details without going through my records but it was approx like that.

edit: i also got a 6k bill early this year from an unpaid loan that I had accidentally missed and they hadn't sent me letters for two years. The amount was like 500 originally. I'm pretty sure I originally borrowed 10-15k and paid back 25-30k.

Thanks, great read. Looking forward to more!

Nice read.

In case you don't have enough encouragement already Mr. Chuck Bass please to be continuing with your detlightful tale...

I see myself a lot in some of the situations and most of what you've written happened to me more or less at different stages of my life. Extremely interesting to read and very inspirational, keep it up. Snapsubscribed
